Description

Move planes along numbered lanes on an airport runway. Add the numbers on a pair of dice to determine which plane takes off. Try to predict which lane is most likely to clear quickly. Explore how many rolls are needed to match a chosen number five times. Look at an explanation of uneven distributions. Compare the theoretical data distribution with experimental results. This learning object is one in a series of 11 objects.

Key learning objectives

Students collect and handle data about random events to test conjectures about variation and probabilities.
